Drawing from a rich background in goldsmithing, I embarked on my journey as an apprentice, mastering the intricacies of craftsmanship from the ground up. It was during this formative period that I first encountered CAD software, specifically Rhino3D, which revolutionized my approach to jewelry design. The transition from traditional techniques to digital platforms opened up a world of possibilities, igniting my passion for 3D modeling. Driven by a relentless curiosity, I delved deeper into the realm of digital design, pursuing additional training in 3D modeling techniques and discovering the transformative power of poly-modeling with 3DS Max and rendering with Vray. This newfound knowledge empowered me to not only design jewelry for 3D printing and casting but also to expand my horizons into product design. With a blend of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, I seamlessly integrated CAD into my workflow, leveraging its capabilities to craft intricate designs and generate photorealistic renders. Recognizing the untapped potential of my skills, I transitioned into offering my services as a 3D designer, specializing in designing and rendering jewelry and various products. Today, armed with over 9 years of experience, I continue to channel my passion for design into every project I undertake. I invite you to explore my portfolio, a testament to my journey from apprentice to seasoned 3D artist, and discover the artistry and precision that define my work.

I am a practical CAD designer, project manager and business owner with hands-on experience across construction, shopfitting, signage, electrical installations, rope access and commercial project delivery. My strength is combining CAD design with real-world site experience. I understand that a drawing must not only look correct on screen—it also needs to make practical sense when it is manufactured, installed or used on site. My CAD experience includes 2D technical drawings, layouts, drawing modifications, PDF/sketch-to-CAD conversion, 3D modelling, STEP and DXF files, concept development and rendered visualisations. I have also used CAD and 3D visualisation to develop concepts and potential equipment solutions for unusual rope-access and site-access challenges. My practical experience includes designing and fabricating support structures, electrical and signage installations, shopfitting, fault-finding, site measurements and solving installation challenges in real working environments. I founded SKALT (Pty) Ltd in 2025, through which I provide project management, construction, technical and rope-access services. Projects have included commercial shopfitting, office and furniture relocations, technical installations and site-specific design work. My project-management experience includes managing furniture relocations for VEGA Design School and Varsity College to their new premises in Sandton, as well as acting as Head Project Manager for the refurbishment of Komatsu Modular Mining's Bryanston offices on behalf of Scarab Projects. Through SKALT, I have also completed shopfitting work for a Good Earth store relocation in Plettenberg Bay and continue to assist Scarab Projects with commercial and educational furniture layouts, including current layout work for Rosebank College. Before establishing SKALT, I worked as General Manager at NorthStar Signs, where my responsibilities included managing commercial signage projects. This included project management of safety and general centre signage installations at Robberg Shopping Centre in Plettenberg Bay. My technical education includes N4 Electrical Engineering studies, including Mathematics, Engineering Science and Electrotechnics. I also hold a CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting and have completed training in advanced Microsoft Excel and data analysis. I am additionally IRATA Level 1 qualified in rope access. I am comfortable working from client sketches, measurements, existing drawings, photographs and technical requirements to develop clear CAD drawings and models. I value accuracy, practical problem-solving, attention to detail and clear communication with clients. I am particularly interested in assisting clients with: * 2D CAD drafting and technical drawings * PDF, sketch or existing drawing to CAD conversion * DXF drawing creation and modification * 2D-to-3D conversion * 3D part and component modelling * STEP models * Furniture, office and equipment layouts * Shopfitting and installation layouts * Basic fabrication and support-structure drawings * Site-specific concept development * CAD visualisation and rendered concepts * Drawing corrections, modifications and clean-up For work requiring professional engineering, architectural certification or regulatory approval, I can produce drawings and models from specifications supplied by the client or relevant professional, with final technical approval remaining with the appropriately qualified person.

I've Designed and Manufactured a large spectrum of the Engineering field. A few sectors include Mining, Solar Field, Film Industry, Food Industry as well as precision and general engineering. I am a firm believer that with first hand experience in manufacturing principles and processes, products are better designed not only for end user but also for ease of manufacture. This offers cost savings throughout the production cycle, saving money and most importantly time.
